Pre-registration
- Instructions
- Please add your name to the list if you will attend. Also, please indicate the following:
- Put an X in the $$$ column if you need funding to attend, and visit the FUDCon ticket tracker to make a funding request. We have a limited budget and will work hard to fund as many people as possible. We'll use these answers to help figure out budgeting for the event. We are making arrangements for attendees from other geographic regions to encourage specific initiatives such as future FUDCon events, but preference may otherwise be given to people in North America.
- Put a V in the Veg column if you would like vegetarian fare for any meals that we provide during the event. If you prefer vegan fare, please mark that column VV. We will do our best to make sure everyone is accommodated! Note: "Hell No" and similar statements are offensive to some and should not be included in this column.
- Put your T-shirt size in the Size column, so we can have an idea about what sizes to have available. Only Unisex (Mens Sizes will be ordered)
- Roomsharing:
- If you want or need to share a room, mark yes in the "Roomshare?" column.
- Once you have a roommate, both of you should mark your roommate's name in the block as well.
- If you need a roommate, look for someone with just a yes in the column, and contact them via email. If you encounter any problems, let the organizers know.
- Use the Comments section for anything else you think organizers need to know, or to offer or ask for space or rides.

Proposed Barcamp Sessions
Please fill in the following grid with proposed BarCamp sessions: (If listed here will be Printed and at the Site ready for your Pitch)
Session name | Description | User Level | Lead |
---|---|---|---|
Fedora Test automation: State of the union | Discuss the current tools used to do automated regression test on Fedora, accomplishments and roadmap | Intermediate | Lucas Meneghel Rodrigues |
Using control groups (cgroups) to manage resources in virtualization/cloud computing | Real world examples of how to increase density in virtual or cloud computing environments via cgroups | Intermediate | Thomas Cameron (choirboy) |
Spacewalk power user tips and tricks | What to do once you've got Spacewalk up and running to automate system installation and deployment | Intermediate | Thomas Cameron (choirboy) |
High availability clustering with Fedora | How to set up a clustered GFS2 filesystem using iSCSI and run a highly available application on it | Intermediate | Thomas Cameron (choirboy) |
Security Enhanced Linux for Mere Mortals | Introduction to SELinux and real world examples of how to use it. Includes some common scenarios where you might need to configure SELinux | Beginner | Thomas Cameron (choirboy) |
Building RPMs for mere mortals | Introduction to building packages. I'll cover building RPMs from Open Source software and from binaries from software for which you don't have the source code. | Beginner | Thomas Cameron (choirboy) |
Introduction to Fedora QA | Overview on what the QA team and its various subgroups do from the beginning of the development of a new release to its EOL. (Not including AutoQA.) | Beginner | Sandro "red" Mathys |
Creating FUDCon booklets, or "Ian's raptor-proofing talk" | A quick overview on tips and tricks I've learned in creating information booklets for FUDCon Tempe and Blacksburg, and a demonstration of the tools involved and some best practices in desktop publishing. | Intermediate | Ian Weller |
Systems Management with Matahari | In this talk Russell will introduce the Matahari project, an interface for system management APIs of all kinds. Russell will discuss the architecture of the Matahari ecosystem and how the use of AMQP as a transport layer allows it to scale to large collections of servers in the Cloud. Russell will also describe the ways in which developers and system administrators can get involved in the Matahari ecosystem: by creating agents to provide access to existing APIs through Matahari; by creating their own APIs; by writing their own clients to interact with agents; and by interacting through a command line shell or script. | Advanced | Russell Bryant |
Fedora and the Raspberry Pi | The Raspberry Pi is a $25-35 computer aimed at provoking curiosity about computers and programming in the same way that BBC Micros, ZX-80/81s, Commodore 64s, Atari 400/800s, and Apple ][s did in the 80's. This computer features an ARM11 core and a ridiculously strong GPU with HD output, and it runs Fedora! | Any | Chris Tyler |
Introduction to Gluster | Jeff Darcy and John Mark Walker will lead the audience on a tour of GlusterFS: it's architecture, origins and community. | Beginner | Jeff Darcy & [[User:Johnmark|John Mark Walker] & ]Sid Wilroy |
Using Fedora to make logos, t-shirts, stickers, and other fun swag | You've got an awesome software project or community but you've got no swag! Oh nos, however will you get people to hang out at your booth at the latest conference? Do you (*gulp*) need the Adobe Suite and a Mac....? No way!! Everything you need is in Fedora! We'll walk through some basic logo creation techniques in Inkscape. Then, using both Inkscape and Scribus, we'll create a basic, print-ready circular design that you could use for buttons or stickers. Finally, we'll create an affordable, print-ready T-shirt design again using Inkscape and Scribus. Throughout, we'll go over how to create CMYK rather than RBG designs so your Fedora blue won't run purple! | Beginner | Máirín Duffy |
Fedora Inspire: A virtual conference | While we are all lucky to make it to FUDcon, there are many FUDcon contributors around the world who have not had the opportunity to come even though they would love to be here. Would it be cool to have a week-long TED-like conference, run on Fedora Planet, where every day of the event a new 15-minute video is posted from someone doing inspirational work in or with Fedora? How is Fedora being used in schools, to build robots, to create awesome music? Let's find out! If you would like to help brainstorm how we could make this happen and pitch in to make it happen, please come! | Any | Máirín Duffy |
Katello: A Sysadmin's Fortress | Katello is here to help you take control of your software and your systems in an easy-to-use and scalable manner. Focusing on the software lifecycle, you can organize that content into repositories that are easily searchable, filtered, manipulated and controlled in a locked-down container called an Environment. | Intermediate | Justin Sherrill |
Making Fedora Package Maintenance Easier | Come check out the unveiling of new tools for Fedora package maintainers designed and developed by the Fedora engineering team! We'll demo our staging instance and let you log in and kick the tires. Give us any feedback or wishlist items you have to make working with Fedora packages easier! | Intermediate to Advanced | Tom Callaway |
FOSS@RIT: Academic and Student Engagement | Come meet the students and staff from "The FOSSBox" at Rochester Institute of Technology. We will give a brief overview of engagement strategies for working with our students inside and outside of the classroom, in both sponsored and volunteer capacities.

Pulp: Juicy Software Repository Management | The Pulp team is finishing up testing of version 1.0, bringing repository and consumer management to your infrastructure. This talk will cover an overview of the 1.0 features and a look at the new architecture of 2.0. Pulp version 2.0 will support non-RPM content in the form of user-defined content types, including modeling relationships between content units. Leverage existing Pulp features such as consumer management, scheduling, concurrency, and throttling to write your own plugins to customize content import and publishing for your needs. | Intermediate | Jay Dobies |
